Used To Jock 04:24
I used to I used to I used to I used to jock you I won’t front I used to I won’t lie They say rejection is protection But my hesitation Must have been a blessing too But I’m no here to be cruel To keep it 100 Sometimes I’m missing you I used to I used to I used to I used to jock you I won’t front I used to I won’t lie But now that’s over That’s in the past That was then and this now Thought that I was slipping Out of my head Out of my mind But now I understand And it all makes sense Oh say C’est la C’est la vie Oh say C’est la C’est la vie Oh say C’est la C’est la vie Oh say C’est la C’est la vie No new friends Shop closed for business After our situation I had a lot of questions Like did I mess up or dodge a bullet? Was I smart of was I foolish? I used to I used to I used to I used to jock you I won’t front I used to I won’t lie But now that’s over That’s in the past That was then and this now Thought that I was slipping Out of my head Out of my mind But now I understand And it all makes sense But now that’s over That’s in the past That was then and this now Thought that I was slipping Out of my head Out of my mind But now I understand And it all makes sense Oh say C’est la C’est la vie Oh say C’est la C’est la vie Oh say C’est la C’est la vie Oh say C’est la C’est la vie

about

The title "Stranger Than Fiction", was inspired by all the things one see's and learns when they are part of different communities. Who the real good guys are, who the real villains are, who's really problematic, who's just misunderstood, who only wants to be famous and who does it from a place of genuine love etc etc. You'd be surprised what you find out.

But more important, I wanted to make a tribute album reflecting all the music that has played a huge role in forming who I am as an artist and as a person. Each track showcasing a different audio aesthetic but connecting to the next like scenes in a film, creating my own world.

Something loosely inspired by the atmospheres of my favorite albums Voodoo by D’Angelo, St Elsewhere by Gnarls Barkley, Dummy by Portishead, Breath From Another by Esthero, and The Love Below by Andre 3000, to name a few. All blended together with my love for Indie Electronic Music, done in my own authentic ways.

Often in life I have been told that I am too R&B for Hip Hop, too Hip Hop for R&B, too R&B Hip Hop for House and too House Music for Techno. But the truth is I'm a creation of those worlds put together. This album is me leaning into that.

This project is for others like me who fit into multiple categories and none at the same time. While bringing it back to an old school-ish energy, simply about humble songs, good vibes and fun beats.
